Be Ok
Ingrid Michaelson(잉그리드 마이클슨) Lyrics

I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
All I'm asking for is to feel alright, to not have any worries or troubles.

I just want to be okay today
I don't need to be happy or ecstatic, just getting through the day without any major issues or problems would be enough.

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I want to feel alive, to experience emotions and not be numb or apathetic.

I just want to feel something today
I'm tired of feeling disconnected or empty, I want to have experiences that make me feel something.

Open me up and you will see, I'm a gallery of broken hearts
If you look closely, you'll see that I've been hurt many times and carry emotional scars.

I'm beyond repair, let me be
I don't want anyone to try to fix me, I feel like I'm broken beyond repair.

And give me back my broken parts
I want to have ownership of my pain and past experiences, even if they are difficult or damaging.

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I want to understand myself and my situation, to have clarity and perspective.

Know that maybe I will be okay
I don't need to be sure or certain about the future, I just need to have hope that things will get better.

Just give me back my pieces
I want to have a sense of completeness or ownership over my brokenness, to not feel like I'm missing important parts of myself.

Just give them back to me please
I'm asking for compassion and understanding from those around me.

And let me hold my broken parts
I want to be able to acknowledge and work with my pain, to not feel ashamed or afraid of it.

Know that maybe I will be okay
Again, I don't need to be sure of the future, just having hope is enough.

Know that maybe I will be okay
Reiteration of the previous line, emphasizing the importance of hope and acceptance.
